Classic Shell: Forum

Hi,

Back in the days of Windows XP there was a menu item called "My network places" which would display the machines available on your network.

Would be possible to add a new menu item, possibly called "Network places", that achieves this?

Many thanks,

My Network Places is renamed to "Network" starting with Windows Vista. It can be added from the Customize Start Menu tab of Classic Start Menu settings. Set "Network" to "Display this item".

Hi,

Thanks for the guidance, but "Network" is not listed in the "Available commands" list.

Can you provide any further advice?

Many thanks,

Using version 4.2.3

Oh it looks like "Network" command is missing from the classic styles of the menu.

In that case, add a Custom command, then double click it in the Available commands column. In the "Command" field, type: network. Leave all other fields empty. Click OK everywhere to save settings.
